Christmas Morning Casserole

I had this one Christmas at a friend's house. I do not eat grits but I do eat them in this casserole. It is so yummy!

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1  cup quick-cooking grits (make ahead of time)
• 1 1⁄2 cups  grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
• 4  eggs, lightly beaten
• 1  cup milk
• 1  lb ground sausage (mild, regular, fully cooked)

Directions

1. Cook grits and brown ground sausage.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients and pour into a 9X13 GREASED pan.
3. Sprinkle top with cheese.
4. Cook 1 hour at 350 degrees F. Will bubble. If make and refrigerate the day before, it may take a little bit longer to cook. It will be cooked by it not being watery, instead it will be jiggly.
5. Note: I do not sprinkle cheese on top of casserole.
